Nether Wiki

Source for nether.wiki — the community wiki and publishing site for Nether, a coalition of creatives, intellectuals, psychonauts, and furries building a privacy-respecting corner of the web.

It's a static site: Markdown → pandoc → HTML, deployed to nether.wiki on merge to master.

Layout

• content/ — Markdown sources (the build input)
  • content/wiki/ — encyclopedia articles
  • content/books/ — embedded primary texts (serialized fiction), e.g. content/books/tom-fucks/
  • content/~<user>/ — user pages (e.g. content/~dark/)
  • content/_index.md — site landing page
• site/ — per-section HTML templates and stylesheets
• filters/ — pandoc Lua filters (infoboxes, AO3/Inkbunny export formats)
• Makefile, resolve.sh — the build

How the build resolves templates

Every Markdown file is rendered with a template, stylesheet, and base URL chosen per file. resolve.sh looks each up in this order of precedence:

1. a per-file front-matter override (e.g. template: books/tom-fucks),
2. else the nearest .sectionrc walking up the directory tree,
3. else the content/ root default.

So most files need no configuration — they inherit their section's .sectionrc.

Build and preview locally

Requirements: pandoc, make, git, and python3 (for the preview server). Optional: libreoffice-writer, only needed for the Inkbunny .doc export.

make            # build the site into output/
make test       # serve output/ at http://localhost:9000
make dist       # build the AO3 / Inkbunny upload packages under output/dist/
make clean

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. In short: fork, branch, build locally, open a pull request against master. master is branch-protected and deploys to nether.wiki on merge; beta deploys to beta.nether.wiki for preview.
